Description

This security bulletin contains information about 4 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) UNIX symbolic link following (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-6597)

The vulnerability allows a local user to delete arbitrary files on the system.

The vulnerability exists due to a symlink following issue during cleanup when handling temporary files. A local user can create a specially crafted symbolic link to a critical file on the system and delete it.


2) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-0450)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to the zipfile module does not properly control consumption of internal resources when extracting files from a zip archive. A remote attacker can pass a specially crafted archive aka zip-bomb to the application, trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


3) Race condition (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-3219)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to a race condition within the socket module, which provides a pure-Python fallback to the socket.socketpair() function for platforms that don’t support AF_UNIX, such as Windows. This pure-Python implementation uses AF_INET or AF_INET6 to create a local connected pair of sockets. The connection between the two sockets was not verified before passing the two sockets back to the user, which leaves the server socket vulnerable to a connection race from a malicious local peer.


4) Incorrect Regular Expression (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-6232)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of .tar archives when processing it with regular expressions. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application and perform regular expression denial of service (ReDos) attack.
